Night. Dark silence – portentous, the surreal can become corporeal, the inconceivable can happen, at night that which is invisible by the light of day becomes alive, intuitions, dreams – dark as well as heavenly – become reality. By means of expanded perceptiveness and imagination we experience larger dimensions of natural powers than the rational consciousness of daytime allows. (2 CDs for the price of 1)
